How Can You Help?
During an emergency members may be asked to:
- Augment medical and support staff shortages at medical or shelter facilities
- Assist with the distribution or dispensing of equipment, supplies and/or medication
- Assist with surveillance and/or disease investigation
- Provide administrative support services
During times of non-emergency members may:
- Staff first aid areas at community events
- Provide health education at various community events
- Assist at immunization clinics
- Assist with volunteer recruitment
- Assist with volunteer training
- Participate in disaster drills and exercises
Something unique about the Medical Reserve Corps is that members choose how they want to participate. Some members may want to assist in events and exercises throughout the year, while others may only want to be called upon to help during real emergencies. The MRC allows members to participate based on their individual needs and abilities.
